如何製作拼布

縫製拼布需要事前規劃；首先，縫紉者會挑選希望的圖案花色，然後將織物剪成一片片，再將它們縫在一起，形成一個完整的設計樣式；通常，較為小片的布料會被縫製成一大塊或正方型，接著，再將這些方塊縫成一大片，當做成品的表布；一旦表布的尺寸達到縫紉者想要的大小後，就可以使用框架將表布、填料及底布結合成一體。

Assembling a quilt requires some thinking ahead. First, a quilter selects a pattern and then cuts pieces of fabric and sews them together to form an overall design. Usually, smaller pieces of material are sewn together into larger blocks or squares, and then those blocks are stitched together to make the top layer of the quilt. Once the top layer is as big as the quilter wants, it's joined together with the padding and the bottom layer using a frame.
